I think that many Democrats now think that they have completely won the day, and they can pass any policy that they want. Here is an example. Harry Reid is interviewed about immigration reform:
Q: Will there be as much of a fight on immigration as last time?
A: We’ve got McCain and we’ve got a few [...]

Who said this?
Our Constitution places the ownership of private property at the very heart of our system of liberty…. The result of this business culture has been a prosperity that’s unmatched in human history…. Our greatest asset has been our system of social organization, a system that for generations has encouraged constant innovation, individual [...]

Great column by William McGurn in the WSJ about when the courts usurp the role of voters. He is right when he says, “when courts usurp the role of the people, they inject cynicism and bitterness into America’s body politic.” I know that it makes me angry and bitter when judges think that they should [...]

I have been in South Korea this week. I have written about some of my trips there in the past (like here).
I had lunch with a Korean co-worker. He said that many years ago the Mongols, led by a son of Genghis Khan, invaded and took over Korea. He said that they were “completely broken” [...]

Remember global warming? With the worldwide economic crisis upon us, I don’t think that governments will be rushing to spend billions and regulate businesses more tightly to implement the restrictive pollution controls advocated by activists.
And there is still the question of whether man-made global warming is even real. Scientist Robert Carter writes at Quandrant:

This made me think about the economic turndown shaping up in the US and around the world. Personally, [...]

The Left is gloating over the Obama victory, so they are looking for groups of conservatives to run down. Now they discovered this map showing where the red counties are. I mentioned here how Bill Moyers has already declared the south “deeply racist”. Others are picking up on this meme.
Today the New York Times jumped [...]

Obama supporters turning into zombies.

With tax laws targeted at redistribution coming, the rich are surely working hard to figure out how to hide their income. And people are buying guns while they can:
PHOENIX (Reuters) - Sales of rifles, pistols and ammo are surging in parts of the United States, as many gun owners fear President-elect Barack Obama’s administration may [...]

Riding home from work last night I listened to Terry Gross interviewing Bill Moyers on NPR. I was sure that I would soon be annoyed by ultra-liberal Bill Moyers, but I listened for awhile anyway. Moyers is a liberal of the classic intolerant variety. To him, like many on the left, political opponents are driven [...]

If you are not a die-hard right-winger that can never cut liberals slack, then you must, like me, be amazed at the incredible moment tonight of the first black man (okay, half black) getting elected as president of the United States. Yes, I was not a supporter of Barack Obama because I differ with his [...]
